[ltp] Mandriva - rewriting xorg.conf (silly magic)

[Richard Neill]

Dear All,

Does anyone know what process is responsible for Mandrake/Mandriva 
re-writing xorg.conf automatically?

If anything ever goes wrong which prevents X from starting[*], (such as 
a crash, a rebuilt kernel without the nvidia driver, an unexpectedly 
uplugged external mouse, or a change in kernel), it very "helpfully" 
overwrites my carefully written xorg.conf file with a default.

This is extremely annoying! Any ideas how to stop it? I thought it was 
XFDrake's fault, but even renaming the binary didn't stop it!

Richard

start, than have X start in a broken configuration.
